ducati have just called me back. they've finished looking at the bike and the bottom end on the rear piston has seized.

I asked what could cause this and he said the normal cause is oil starvation.

i asked what would cause this and he said having no oil in it. (but there was plenty of oil in it).

i asked what else could cause oil starvation and didn't really have an answer.

i asked about the crank grub-screw thing and he said it definatley wasn't that and that problem was so rare he'd only ever seen one since the bikes were first sold.

he then said someone from the warranty company would come and inspect it - what for? surely a warranty is just a warranty? it breaks, they fix it right?

also reading the small print on my warranty i'm only covered up to £1000 - how much more than that could it cost????

the saga continues....
